Venting Advent

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #393: The Advent Season is one of preparation for Christmas. Here Fr. Vazken discusses the season and Christmas as a living expression for today. First a look at how the stories evolved over time from Bethlehem to Rudolph from a one-liner about the Inn to a Technicolor movie with barmaids and patrons. The Winter Solstice and the January 6 / December 25 shift. Definitely a Christmas primer – filled with information and spirituality.

Clarity to See Responsibility

Next Step #78 – December 3, 2009

A look at Jesus’ answer to Evil in the Gospel of Luke 13 as an instruction to shift emphasis from others to ourselves and accept responsibility for our lives. Advent Sunday #2 – is a step closer to introducing meaning to the Christmas season and the value of finding a lasting “Peace on Earth.” It’s got to be more than a Christmas card greeting! Celebs that make it into the cast: Tiger Woods, the Salahis, Fred Claus and much mush (sic) more.
